Field Agent at Heartland Retirement Group

My time at Emmaus was absolutely transformational. The professors at Emmaus invested into me. They taught me how to dig deep into the Word of God, how to think critically, how to be an effective communicator, how to interact with modern-day resources, and how to be prepared to be a servant-leader wherever I go.

John Walker

Dean of Student Life at Central Christian College of Kansas

Emmaus prepared me for a lifetime of service to Christ. Emmaus helped me recognize my gifts and abilities to pursue the career God was calling me to pursue. Emmaus equipped me with a solid Biblical foundation to walk in a manner worthy of His calling in my life. Beyond that, Emmaus provided me with an excellent education that would aid tremendously in graduate school.
